		<description>When you watch the first half of episode 23 I recommend trying to imagine that Kaiji has simply gone delerious from blood loss and stress and started obsessing over tissue boxes for no reason.  I kept imagining him making a little tissue-box man with pens for arms and legs, drawing a scary face on it, and using it to confront a bemused-but-puzzled chairman.

Seriously, try it.  It's the most hilarious thing ever.</description>

		<description>Am I the only person who finds this entire arc predictable?

Hell most of the series you could tell what his 'revelations' were before they actually happened.  Based upon the number of clues, it's pretty obvious what was going to happen.  The only difference here was the beam-walk, where there was really nothing to it than guts and balance.</description>

		<description>@IcyStorm: Saturnine's blog has got as far as the maintenance page so I'm guessing whatever was wrong is at least part way to being fixed. Sadly Orion and Guff are still MIA, although the fact that I'm moving house this week and haven't even decided on a new ISP, let alone set my connection up, means this place will go on temporary hiatus in the next few days too. *sigh*

@CCY: thanks. ^_^ Ep #21 ends on a cliff hanger and #22 is taking ages to download so I still don't know how it'll pan out. I did notice that Kaiji exploited the pressure that the chairman is putting on Tonegawa though, because the cheating bastard was getting really unsettled and was actually *thinking* about a strategy rather than cheating and watching Kaiji go to pieces. Man, this series is getting to be really, really EPIC.</description>

		<description>Nice summary of the E-Card arc. 

Somehow I doubt that Kaiji is really weighing the pros and cons of continuing on with E-Card, or at least in a sane manner, as it seems a lot to me like he's just hellbent on revenge right now. Either that, or "one-up these cheating bastards" takes priority over "not dying or collapsing of blood loss". 

And regarding ear vs. eye, I wonder if the sensor readouts work with the eye - it might be a purposeful contrast to give a reason for players to pick the ear (like I think IKnight said in another post) instead of just forcing it on them, to get rid of suspicion. Although, having something covering half your field of vision would intimidate you more in other, more obvious ways...

But I can't claim to be the expert here, speaking from the 21st episode where things don't seem resolved just yet. We'll see where the last few episodes take us in terms of that 'payback' you mention. It's gonna be one sweet victory.

(Of course it's a victory, right? &#62;_&#62;)</description>
